There are few accolades the decorated Melbourne captain doesn’t have next to her name. The powerful forward has added silky midfielder to her repertoire in recent years and has Demon fans wishing there were multiple Kate Hores to play all across the field. With four consecutive wins in the Daisy Pearce Trophy to her name, Hore is in a rich vein of form and continues to take her game to new levels, averaging a career-high 21.3 disposals per game in 2025 all while kicking her biggest single-season goal tally to date.
